Very Slow app startup: Performance problems

[Guest]

Hello, we are using a Symbol PPT 8800 series devices with a VB.NET
application. It has many modules and we experience really bad problems with
the garbage collector, so the way to resolve that was divide the application
into 3 separates applications calling from one to another. That resolves the
memory manager problems, but we have very hard problems in performance when
one appication stop and another gets started. I'll apretiate if anyone can
suggest us any way to improve the speed for app. startup, becose we have
about 20 secs in any application startup.

Note: we are using SqlCe2.0, grids with dataset bindings and merge
replications.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this whitepaper on MSDN:

There are some really good tips on form performance that should be very
useful.
